Fyve Derbyshire

A cutting edge condo and one of the newest available for sale in the posh Novena region.

If you are on the lookout of a luxury condo in Novena which is sure to provide you with a seemingly high-end living experience with quick access to the best of the amenities and facilities, Fyve Derbyshire might just be the ideal property you are looking for.

Known as the former 20-unit Derby Court, the freehold site was acquired by RH Development Two Pte Ltd, a subsidiary firm of the local renowned developer, Roxy Pacific Holdings back in December 2017 for $73.88 million ($1,390 psf ppr) via a collective sale.

Whenever we mention about living in Novena, many would instantly associate the area with tons of high-end private residential developments and a wide range of reputable schools which parents would love to get their kids into.

Hence, it doesn’t really require much introduction to understand why Novena is very well-known as one of the prime residential districts in Singapore for decades (at least for 30 years). So, let’s take a look at what Fyve Derbyshire has to offer and if it is going to be the name which most real estate investors are having eyes on.

Fyve Derbyshire Condo Developer

There are always uncertainties when buying the condominium or apartment which hasn’t been constructed, such as the finishes, fittings and build quality of the development.

Therefore, when it comes to buying a new launch condo, we feel that it’s important to look at who is the developer for the project and its track record in order give yourself more assurance of the final product.

The Fyve Derbyshire condo is being developed by RH Development Two Pte Ltd. which is a subsidiary company of Roxy Pacific Holdings.

It is also the developer and owner of various boutique hotels in Kyoto and Osaka in Japan. Apart from this, the group has also bought a resort in the Maldives and is also developing hotels in Phuket.

Roxy Pacific Holdings has established its name as one of the best developers for developing small to medium-sized residential apartments and condominiums which are specifically geared for the middle and upper-middle class section of the society.

It is important to mention here that the group launched around 44 small to medium-sized developments consisting of more than 4,000 commercial and residential units between 2004 and 2017 in Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore.

Other than being the developer of Fyve Derbyshire, they are also in the midst of marketing other residential developments such as RV Altitude (at River Valley), Arena Residences (along Guillemard Road) and Bukit 828 (at Bukit Timah).

Fyve Derbyshire Review

Let’s admit: Fyve Derbyshire is possibly one of the better developments available in Singapore’s private residential market at the time when we post this write-up.

It is no doubt that this condo will provide you with a taste of high-class peaceful living along with easy accessibility, quick connectivity, and luxurious amenities and on-the-go healthcare and education.

We really love the layout of the units at Fyve Derbyshire as there is hardly any wastage of space. Each unit is efficiently designed to reflect the urban lifestyle and merged seamlessly with the overall affluent features of the condo.

This Novena condo definitely comes with a lot of unique advantages. Even if you do not plan to live here yourself but want to rent it out, you are likely to find tenants with good profiles – even for the smallest unit in this project.

However, our key concern is that the rental yield may be a little worrying for investors. We are going to compare with the newest neighboring condo at Derbyshire Road. So, let’s take a look at 6 Derbyshire rental transactions over the last 6 months.

6 Derbyshire Rental Transactions (Jul 2018 to Jan 2019)

To summarize the rental transactions, you can have a look at the table below.

6 Derbyshire Rental Summary (Jul 2018 – Jan 2019)

Unit Type

Size

Lowest Monthly Rent

Highest Monthly Rent

1-Bedroom

474 – 527 sqft

$2,100

$2,500

2-Bedroom

732 – 829 sqft

$2,700

$3,500

3-Bedroom

1,012 – 1,130 sqft

$3,700

$4,600

Now let’s put things into perspectives using some simple calculations:

Assuming you purchased the lowest priced 2-bedroom (560 sqft) unit at Fyve Derbyshire for $1.384 million and you are actually able to achieve a rental of $3,000 per month.

Please note that it is only if you are ‘lucky‘ enough because, at $3,000 per month, the prospective tenant can get a much bigger 2-bedroom unit at 6 Derbyshire.

Therefore, in our opinion, anything below a minimum of 3 percent rental yield doesn’t really make much investment sense. Any fix deposits, investing REITs or ‘blue chips’ in Singapore would be able to give you the same yield or even higher.

That said, it is not that Fyve Derbyshire would not make a good property. It’s probably more suitable for anyone who loves living in the Novena precinct and use this property for their own consumption. As an investment tool, it isn’t really the smartest option for high ROI potential.
